Can someone explain to me how to do this? I know the answers, I'm having a hard time explaining it and understanding it.

In the equation (a)-(d), the solution x to the equation depends on the constant a. Assuming a is positive, what is the effect on increasing a on the solution? Does it increase, decrease, or remain unchanged? Give a reason for your answer that can be understood without solving the equation.

a. x-a=0
b. ax=1
c. ax=a
d. x/a =1
